BGEYE Description

BGEYE is a system information tool that displays critical computer details right on the desktop of your computer. Instead of using a dedicated interface, BGEYE shows all details as part of a wallpaper that’s automatically updated at a user-defined interval. With an icon that quietly sits in the System Tray and waits for your input, BGEYE shows only a limited amount of information, including user name, local date and time, day of year, computer name and uptime, CPU speed, model and manufacturer, graphic and audio devices, USB ports, RAM usage, registry size and local disk drives. The program’s GUI however makes the program a bit difficult to use, especially for beginners who may need a more straightforward approach. There are plenty of options available, that’s true, but some of them are using less intuitive names that may require additional documentation. You can configure the rendering resolution, which can be the one currently in use or a custom one, but also the elements to be displayed on the desktop. As said, BGEYE automatically generates a wallpaper and refreshes it a configured interval, so you can adjust this interval too. The problem is that seems a bit heavy on hardware resources and the computer is slowed down every time it refreshes the wallpaper. Performance of older workstations may thus be seriously affected, so a bigger wallpaper changing interval is needed. All things considered, BGEYE is an interesting project, but it clearly needs a lot of updates to work properly. The idea behind the program is great and similar apps are already out there doing the same thing a lot better. Reviewed by Bogdan Popa, last updated on May 24th, 2012
